Distribution-respecting Model-space Vertical Localization for the Non-Variational Ensemble Data Assimilation of nonlocal Observations: Formulation and Experiments with Clear-sky Infrared Radiances
Operational meteorological ensemble data assimilation (EnsDA) systems frequently assimilate satellite radiance observations. These observations are non-local because they represent spatially-integrated atmospheric information. For ensemble Kalman filters (EnKFs), model-space localization has been hypothesized to be s...
